REVIEW TIPS AND STRATEGIES

Your Midterm Exam will count as a 3^rd of your second quarter grade. Use this to your advantage!!!!!

§ Begin studying at least a week ahead of time.

v Review 5 vocabulary words (Words of the Day) every morning at breakfast

v Re-write your notes by units

v When re-writing notes reorganize them

For example: If the notes are in a graphic organizer, rewrite them in an outline.

§ Create flashcards with the term and image on one side to trigger your memory and have the definition on the other.

Quiz yourself by looking at the term and the picture if you do not remember the definition. ***If you get the answer wrong rewrite the term and definition 5 times (Yes, it is painful, but it works).

§ Create your own study guide by folding your paper on the left-hand side with enough room for each term(s). Record the definition on the other two-thirds of the paper. Now fold the paper so that the definitions are covered and quiz your self. ***If you get the answer wrong rewrite the term and definition 5 times.

§ Go to www.regentsprep.org and do the practice regents questions.
